Stages, deliverables and sign-off gates applied when a project is created with this methodology. Each deliverable shows who is responsible · each gate shows who must approve.

Estimate baseline(positions + effort + rates pulled from the estimate)PM
Guiding principle · RAIDEveryone raises, the PM drives. Every project member is responsible for raising issues, risks, assumptions and dependencies so they can be tracked as overall RAID project items. The project manager surfaces RAID items, opens them for discussion, and explores resolution options.
Gate 1Project Plan Approval1st client approval
required approval by Client
↓ Approved → next phase↺ Request changes(plan revised & resubmitted)
Performance testing(load & response-time checks per the technical spec)• SA sign-offQA
Guiding principleResolved tickets carry evidence. A ticket may only be marked resolved when it includes a screenshot, or the specific test case and tenant, that demonstrates the fix.
Gate 5Unit Test Cases ApprovalInternal approval
required approval by SA
↓ Approved → test cases communicated to client↺ Request changes(test cases revised)
Gate 6Unit Testing Results Sign-offGates entry to UAT
required approval by SA
↓ Approved → enter UAT↺ Request changes(fixes + retest)
Only the QA can move a ticket to “Ready for retest”. After retest, passed tickets are closed; failures loop back to the developer.
Guiding principleDefects are linked to requirements. A defect raised in UAT must be linked to the requirement it relates to. A ticket that cannot be linked to a requirement is a change request, not a defect — it goes through change control.
Warranty bug fixes (deployed bugs only, not new requirements)Dev
Support decision (ongoing support or knowledge transfer)PM/Client
Project Close
The project manager navigates the close decision — communicating to the client that warranty support has ended or working with the administrative team to get an SOW issued for follow-on work
